Play _exactly_ one title from dvd

[sntb]

Hi there,

I'm using VLC on a freshly installed Debian. I want to watch a movie from DVD, which can only be opened via dvdsimple:// and is additionally to long to fit on one disc. Since my DVD drive is loud and I don't like switching DVDs while watching, I created two images from the discs onto my HD. Mounted them as /media/disc1 and /media/disc2, attached them to the playlist as

Code: Select all

<track> <location>dvdsimple:///media/disc1#1</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>0</vlc:id> <vlc:option>audio-track=2</vlc:option> <vlc:option>disc-caching=300</vlc:option> </extension> </track> <track> <location>dvdsimple:///media/disc2#1</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>1</vlc:id> <vlc:option>audio-track=2</vlc:option> <vlc:option>disc-caching=300</vlc:option> </extension> </track>

Works fine except for one problem: After playing title one from disc one, VLC continues to play title two from disc one, which it shall not.

It works with

Code: Select all

<vlc:option>stop-time=seconds</vlc:option>

however, it would be nicer if someone could tell me how to tell VLC to only play title one. If that is possible, as I could not find it on the net. Trying with chapters like

Code: Select all

<location>dvdsimple:///media/disc1#1:10</location>

did also continue after the selected chapter.

If that is important: I have a lenovo X220t with DVD drive in the docking station (which I do not use any more, having the images on my HD). The DVD won't work with menus in Win7 or debian either (But that's not the point), does work with menu in Windows media player and without menus in either VLC (both freshly installed with uninstalling former versions and deleting all settings). These problems might be related to language mix-ups. The DVD is german, my keyboards and ports of the OS are US-english. If I open the first disc in debian from the console I get

Code: Select all

Thanks in advance!

edited: Workaround with stop-time options slightly corrected sucht that the syntax is correct.
